How do you get a Saved Search to ignore a specific automatic lookup?

The reason for wanting to do this is because the lookup being used is very large and the enrichment is not needed for a specific search.
Using something like

| fields - FieldA FieldB

Did not not speed up the search (where FieldA and FieldB are fields that are matched on in the automatic lookup)

When the automatic lookup has the permissions changed to just one app then the saved search runs very fast but I do not believe keeping it like that is an option.

Ideally there would be an option that could be a setting just for this one saved search so that it would not know the automatic lookup exists.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi @jaburke1 ,

I don't like automatic lookups!

And I use them only when I must!

Ciao.

Hi @gcusello  ,

 

I believe using roles (creating a new one to run the saved search) might work.

Hi @jaburke1 ,

try it, but, as I said, I usually avoid to use automatic lookups.

Ciao.
